Employment in Kazakhstan

How to find job that you like, moreover with a good payment of your labor is time-consuming task, which must come to thoughtfully, carefully and purposefully act.

• Well think, in what sphere do you want to work, what is more interesting for you.
• Limit the list of posts in which you would like to work. Don't consider in any case that it will be specified at you on job search course, or you will confuse also yourself and potential employers.
• Dispatch the summary on recruitment agencies.
• Send CV to recruitment agencies, buy newspapers with vacancies on work and get acquainted with vacancies.

It is possible to find a worthy way out of any situation if to wish, but first let's consider basic errors which supposed by people on vacancy search.

An error №1

Unjustified fears and doubts. This problem more often torments graduates of educational institutions, persons who faced for the first time with employment problem. People in this case can become isolated on questions like «What happens if they will refuse me?», «how to behave in such situation?», «it is scary, may adjourn this case for another time?». The reason of such anxieties is emergence of psychological barrier. Only one way – overcome it, to believe in your powers. For this we need instill yourself a definite idea, to set a starting point For example: “I’ll do it”, “there is nothing complicated, the main thins to start”, “all in my hands”. To the employer it is necessary to go without any doubts and an imagined picture of a ridiculous failure. Confidence, calmness, aspiration to get job– these are the main targets and priorities.

An error №2

The resume is incorrectly constituted. The resume – some kind of advertizing of the worker, consecutive factual statement of labor activity, personal and contact information. Aim of the resume – to interest the employer, to induce him for personal meeting with the worker. The head doesn't spend a lot of time for studying of such paper. On one resume leaves about 2-3 minutes. Just imagine situation: the employer takes your resume from the desktop, open it and there is a lot of mistakes from the first line, wrong design … color of paper hurts eyes. What will he do? Such resume is in advance doomed to go on a route "desktop – trash". Resume’s drawing up shouldn’t be business of 5 minutes for you. It worked out in details, rechecked and edited in accordance with standard rules of resume’s drawing up and formulation.. Only in this case we may hope, that due attention will be given to it.

An error №3

You couldn't interest the employer in necessity of your candidacy for the enterprise. This error basically occurs in interview. It looks like this: the job seeker comes to the employer in appointed day and hour with «empty hands», hoping for that simply during conversation will achieve loyalty of the chief, will get at once work. This representation about interview at once handicaps job seeker, immediate refusal in employment follows. Remember that interview – is a chance which should used immediately. Convince, speak, tell about yourself and previous labor feats, show portfolio (if any), certificates of education and confirming passage of additional courses and other. Importantly, show yourself properly, interest the employer. Preparation for interview occurs in advance. It is necessary to strain a little then to celebrate employment.

An error №4.

Being late for an interview. Violation insignificant, but in certain cases inexcusable. The employer wants to receive the specialist punctual, not breaking labor discipline. Delay speaks about you not with the best hand. This circumstance should me meant also. Besides, it is possible, that employer has allocated his work time before and appointed several interviews at once, for each candidate took a certain limit. With your delay you force him to shift the schedule and wait others in corridor of the office. In this case, most probably you will be refused or maybe postpone interview with you for other time.

An error №5

Flagrant violation of rules of etiquette and "good manners". Interview assumes business communication of the worker and the employer. One party offers work, another – convinces in indispensability and advantage for the enterprise. In such situation it is not necessary to dress anyhow, availability of substandard lexicon, rudeness, fraud behavior isn't supposed.

And now example: a man comes to the interview in a bright shirt, shorts, slates, baseball cap (doesn’t taking it off in the room). In conversation admits in some moments substandard lexicon, caught cheating in his words, contradictions. How do you think, whether he will be accepted by the employer in staff? Of course not. Even if you didn’t do everything from above.

Such errors the most widespread at job search, they initially put barrier between employee and employer. If you want your chances to be increased in success, just avoid similar missteps.

There are several proven methods to find a job

First method – job search through advertisement

Now in the market presented set of periodic specialized editions and Internet sites on job search. Search process can be tightened for uncertain time, but thus, it's a proven method to which most of job seekers resorts. Web-sites karierist.kz, headhunter.kz are most popular among Kazakhstan’s specialists. In these sites presented set both domestic and foreign companies. Use of such sites is quite simple and intuitive. Also have a place to "roam" for the employer in selection of personnel.

Second method - address in recruitment agencies

The activity of recruitment agencies composed of three basic components: search, estimation and personnel recruitment on certain vacancies which available from employers. Professional consultants will help you to pick up coккуседн ща necessary employer, conduct an interview, estimate your possibilities and further can help you, will be able to assist you in building a successful career.

Third method – special events: job fairs

This method is highly effective, as these events will be organized specially for specialists. The employer in this case precisely focused on search of the employee. It is possible to get acquainted personally with the representative of the employer, in casual conversation to ask, on what positions they take specialists, if there any programs on work with trainees etc. In such events it is necessary to show maximum activity, learn as much as possible about employers. Even though now they don’t need such specialist, it is possible to draw for yourself conclusion on, whether it is necessary to consider this employer further. Be sure to take some printed resumes with you. It makes good impression upon the employer. If you will offer to fill the questionnaire, attach to it your resume and specify in the questionnaire that some additional information can be found out from the resume (if the questionnaire completely overlaps the resume it shouldn't attached). Warning if you decided to attach your resume, it doesn't mean that in the questionnaire you can neglect answers to some questions. It is necessary to fill all columns even if they duplicate information in the resume.

Fourth method - direct address to employers

There is possibility to gather preliminary information about the employer and decide, whether it is necessary to address for him. It is necessary to allocate target group of interesting employers, to find their coordinates, additional information from various sources and to send your resume. There are more chances of positive result if your appeal will be more individual and elaborated.

Fifth method - Friends, acquaintances and relatives

It is necessary to involve. To ask the question to all surrounding people: Do you have friends who work for… (description of the enterprise)?" Ask them to pass the questionnaire in this organization, to wonder whether they need a young specialist, ask to arrange meeting with the Head of division that is necessary for you or with the Head of HR. If you were told, that they have opportunity to do something for you, don’t hesitate to remind about yourself and your petition, to be interested, how things are doing.

Let's consider nuances of employment of young specialists.

Such people, as a rule, don't have work experience or this experience is rather insignificant. We will tell, during practice or training. It obviously happens insufficiently for successful employment, but this negative factor can be smoothed essentially, favorably having submitted yourself to the employer.

First of all want to underline that the higher education received by such candidate, isn't panacea for successful search and getting job. Education - it is rather simple indicator of whether you have a specific knowledge base and skills. And only. It's just skip to labor market. Therefore don't focus much on your education.

Second moment, which necessary to understand consist in following. You are, as the young specialist, as in fact, the employee of wide profile. We can find use of your powers in different spheres. The graduate of faculty of marketing, for example, may find himself used not only as a marketer, but also as a sales manager, economist, etc. So you have plenty of opportunities to find a good use. The only important thing to take into account number of nuances.

By resume preparation necessarily specify the circulation purpose, on what position do you pretend. To the employer it will allow not to guess, what post do you want, and you will be characterized, as purposeful person. Naturally, purpose should be one. For other positions it is necessary to write separate resumes. Accordingly, and all resumes should be adapted under the specified purpose. Therefore on sections of personal qualities, skills and abilities it is necessary to bring in only that what confirms your aspiration to work in a post interesting you.

It is necessary to specify temporary work places if such existed, and they related to the circulation purpose. Some advisers recommend including all work experience, but I hold other opinion. Specify only that, what will allow showing necessary skills, experience or your achievements. Be reasonable and don't get fond of transfers.

At interview passage it is necessary to consider three important factors.

• No need to invent what wasn’t. Many job seekers try to talk about their work experience allegedly they had, but to check it impossible.the truth will open soon, and it won’t add you points.
• Few minutes enough to talk with such candidate, certain discrepancies in the story, absence of understanding about that work which he allegedly carried out at once will be shown. This may put a cross on your attempt to get a job.
• Better to tell that you able to do. Be honest, but at the same time radiate enthusiasm. Be natural and energetic. And you could do it!

So, you've got a job, you've been looking for!

The first step will be registration of labor relations with the employer that is conclusion of labor contract. Labor contract – is a written agreement between employer and candidate according to which he undertakes to give certain work to the worker, to provide labor conditions and timely in full amount to pay salary, and the worker undertakes to perform this work and observe rules of the internal labor schedule of the organization.
